From Ireland's internationally renowned Druid Theatre Company comes DruidMurphy, the epic story of Irish emigration, from The Great Hunger of the 19th century to the "new" Ireland of the '70s, told through three plays by Tom Murphy.

In Conversations on a Homecoming, it's the 1970s and Michael, after a ten-year absence, suddenly returns to County Galway from New York and has a reunion with old friends in the small-town pub that is a magnet for dreamers. (This performance begins at 1 p.m. One Act with NO intermission - 1 hour, 50 min. The interval until the next play begins is 70 minutes.)

In A Whistle in the Dark, the uprooted Carney family tries to adapt aggressively to life in an English city in 1960. (This performance begins at 4 p.m. Act I - 82 min.; Intermission - 20 min.; Act II - 51 min. The interval until the next play begins is 87 minutes.)

In Famine, the villagers of Glanconnor in the west of Ireland face the real prospect of starvation as the second crop of potatoes fails in 1846. (This performance begins at 8 p.m. Act I - 82 min.; Intermission - 20 min.; Act II - 62 min.)

The complete running time of all three plays including two intervals is 9 hours, 45 minutes.
